The redhead panted heavily as she hopped from log to log, swinging her sword as well, imagining that there were arrows flying at her. This wasn’t enough, maybe she should switch back to moving on the log blindfolded while dodging swinging logs? She turned then blinked when she saw a familiar face watching her. Jumping off from the log, she put her sword away, walking towards the older knight.

“You know, I’m not quite sure. My parents died years ago, yet you seem to remind me of my mother…somehow. Have you ever had one of those dreams where you’re in a particular room somewhere for a fraction of a second? Then years later while you’re awake you happen to live that moment? That’s what this feels like.”

“Your... parents died years ago?” The redhead frowned. So she was like her in a way. “I remind you of your mother?” That was.. an odd thing to say.

“S…Severa?” Cordelia sighed with soft relief, her expression going the same way as she set her spear upon the wall. The pegasus knight was donned in light, baggy sleepwear, and her hair was an absolute mess. Most likely, she had just woken up in the middle of the night as well.

“You’ve scared the wits out of me, Severa. I was afraid we were being ambushed at night.” She shook her head, pulling a match from the drawer and igniting a nearby lantern, restoring illumination to her daughter’s room and making her concerned face all the more easily seen. “Everything is okay, is it not? I’d hate to have to wake up the rest of the company for nothing.”

The redhead looked away, not knowing how loud she was while she was having that nightmare. Maybe she should’ve just slept outside or something instead... but that would lose the comfortable cot she was sleeping in now.

“I... sorry mother... I had... a nightmare.” she didn’t want to admit it, but it was her mother. She was bound to find out sooner or later, especially when most of her nightmares involved her.

Put “Knock Knock” in my inbox5. Your character walking in on mine waking from a nightmare.

She whimpered in her sleep, tossing and turning. “N-No... no... MOTHER!” Severa gasped as she woke up, sitting up and coughed. She pulled her knees to her chest and whimpered, trying to stop the tears from falling.

When she heard someone entering, she reached for her weapon then stopped when she saw who came in. 

Cordelia yawned, bringing her palm up to her mouth to shield her daughter from the sight of her gesture before using the same hand to rub her eyes of the exhaustion.

“Mmm…I was up getting some water when i noticed your tent was open. I took a peek inside and noticed you weren’t there. When i had then asked Robin if he had seen you, he said the last he had seen was you going out to the fields to train after dinner. Have you…been training here this whole time?”

“I...” should she tell her the truth? If she did, would she be questioned further? Sighing, seeing as there wasn’t any way to escape from this, she just looked away from her mother.

The redhead blinked then looked at the sky. Oh it was that time already? She couldn’t get things out of her mind so she went training since dinner, but she didn’t think that she’d be out training for that long though.
